Subaru Forester Multimedia Upgrade with Kenwood 7 Inch DMX-6523DABS
We recently installed the Kenwood DMX-6523DABS 7 Inch touchscreen in a Subaru Forester, providing a modern infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, and excellent audio performance.
7 Inch High-Resolution Touchscreen
The 7 Inch capacitive touchscreen offers clear visuals and smooth touch response for navigation, media, and vehicle information. Its compact design integrates seamlessly into the Subaru Forester dashboard while maintaining a premium, factory-style look.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Integration
With wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers can easily access navigation apps, music, calls, messages, and voice commands directly from the screen. This allows for a safe and connected driving experience.
DAB+ Digital Radio and Multimedia Features
The DMX-6523DABS includes DAB+ digital radio for clearer reception and more station options. Additional features include Bluetooth streaming, USB connectivity, and wireless smartphone mirroring, enhancing entertainment for all passengers.
Steering Wheel Control Retention
Using a steering wheel control adapter, all original buttons on the Forester are fully functional with the Kenwood system. This ensures intuitive control of volume, track selection, and calls without removing hands from the wheel.
Optional Rear-View Camera Integration
The system supports rear-view camera input, displaying the image on the 7 Inch screen with parking guidelines for safer reversing. This can be added as part of the installation if required.
Professional Installation by Stephanis Audio
